1) i’m pretty sure i’m like the worst bass player in the world. it’s okay, though, because few guitar players can play bass as if they were bass players. Prince is one. no, i’m not that bad… i’m just judgmental, after having one single take ruined by not-so-perfect timing and mediocre improvising. i’ll do a much better take here in a minute.
2) one time, i was playing bass with my friends Jonesy (gtr, voc.), Kent (drums, very first time and he pretty much rocked), and Brad (i don’t remember what he was playing), and we did one of those moody, dramatic tunes off the second side of U2’s Joshua Tree album (“Mothers of the Disappeared” or “Exit”), plus “Rockin’ In the Free World” by Neil Young. we slammed, and then when we were done, i noticed that the bass strings felt kinda… sticky. i looked down and there was blood all over the bass strings and my right hand. heh heh. me = teh r0x0rz.
3) Netscape is (unofficially) officially dead. thanks in large part to Microsoft’s new deal with AOL. and speaking of Microsoft, their next browser update won’t be until at least 2005, and even then, you’ll have to buy the damn OS just to get it. (sorry, Mac users!) Mozilla is your only hope for a decent browser now.
4) never fall asleep listening to Black Sabbath on headphones. i’m not sure, but i think i’m sterile now, after having done just this the other day.
5) never, ever record EQ or delay. i need to be spanked. hard.
